Re: Epson 260/280/380

Thanks Paul & Steve for your very helpful replies.  It sounds like the
260 isn't quite a sure thing yet.

I wonder why you'd be able to load thick papers into the 260 but not
the 800?  Isn't the 800 designed for the kind of folks who would use
thicker papers?

It sounds like the 800 might be a better bet for me considering its
lower ink costs, tested "pure carbon" approach and color printing
capabilities on matte paper.  If I swap the PK back in I could also
print on F-type glossies, from what I understand (Innova now has a
285gsm weight of their Ultra Smooth Gloss, and I'm hoping it would
feed into the 800).

Question on the 800, though: would it work with the same profiles as
the 1800?  Many of the paper manufacturers don't list profiles for the
800, but they do for the 1800.
